The most intense excitement prevails in

party of his black cotton pickers because he
would not give them double pay for rainy
weeks work, but Chapman insisted on adher
ing to contract. His wife and mother, who
rushed to the scene of the tragedy, were then
riddled with bullets. Several whites who
live in the neighborhood heard of the shoot
ing, armed themselves and started out to in
vestigate. When near Chapman's house they
were halted by party of blacks,
who opened a fusilade upon them.
Three of the whites were shot,
two fatally and the other badly. Four of the
negroes. were shot down. A large party of
whites succeeded in arresting about dozen

Captain Crowen Vindicated ana tho
Blame Placed on Pilot Reynolds.
The inspectors of steam vessels have given
their findings in the Merrimac disaster, of
which the following are extracts:
The plotting of the ship was in charge of
Joseph Reynolds, a provincial pilot, Capt.
Crowell not being a pilot on that coast, but
he was in and out of the pilot house during
the night, and constantly there after the fog
set in. To the failure Of pilot Reynolds, who
ought to have been familiar with the cur
rents, to make allowance for the westerly
drift must be attributed the loss of this ship.
There is but little doubt that the ships COM
passes were practically correct If they
were out, the fact ought to have
been discovered on the different
courses steered between Hawksbury
and Lahave, and allowance made After
Capt Crowell found his ship on the rocks, he
kept the engine working ahead until she
stopped. This we consider highly commend
able, and preferable to backing off, which
has been too often practised, thus exposing
passengers and crew to far greater dangers.
The fact that all the boats and RATS were
safely lowered, and the passengers and crew
safely landed, completely disproves the first
newspaper reports OF a total lack Of discipline
OIL the part of all the officers All the testi-
mony goes to prove that the discipline was
of the very best, and that there was very little
excitement or Generalization among the pas
scngers, with the exception of the fact that two
men named Hart and Fader undertook to steal
one of the boats, but were prevented by Capt.
Crowell, who says he should have felt him
self perfectly justified in shooting them
down had they further resisted his orders So
far as the reported charge of drunkenness or
intemperance among the officers or crew is
concerned, we fail to find one particle of tes-
timony to sustain the charge. On the whole,
we are satisfied that all the licensed officers
On this ship performed their several duties
highly creditably to themselves, and to the
steamboat service, and in a manner fully up
to the requirements of the law. There was no
loss of life and no personal injury, except
to Capt Crowell, who was quite seriously in
jured, having two ribs broken The ship was
total loss The vessel was valued at $780,
OO0, and the cargo at $50 900. Very respect
